hi, today i have installed windows xp on my mac using boot camp and the instalation was succesfully done, but now i can't go back to mac system.
when i start the computer my only option is windows... help!!!

^ open up Startup Disk in Window's Control Panel, select your Mac OS X partition and then hit restart! there is also Startup Disk in OS X's System Preferences. this is for setting the default boot partition.

I have installed windows on my mac for professional reasons. Due to the fact that my Mac was getting slow and that I don't need Windows anymore, i format my computer hoping it would get faster, cleaner and obviously windows would be wiped out.

the thing is, it didn't! it got "stuck" in there and i have read that the process to remove windows was through out boot camp assistant. bu now that i've formated my computer this application isn't there anymore.

if i put the windows disk on the source blank and the machintosh disk on destination blank. shouldn't it work? (whitout deleting any data in the computer)

As the Leopard introduced the resizing feature absent from Tiger, without deleting data, it matters.

Anyway, don't use the RESTORE tab, it is for restoring from a saved disk image, not for what you want to do.

It might be best to backup all your data via CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to an external HDD, use the Restore DVD and erasing the partitions using Disk Utility while booted from the Restore DVD.
Then use the OPTION key to boot from the cloned backup and use CCC or SD again to clone the contents back.
Restart again without the HDD connected and now you should have a working Mac, if that removed the sluggishness is another question though.

well, then i have a problem, 'cause i've installed Ableton Live 8 original version. And if i format my pc again i might not be able to re-install it because the installation is limited to 2 times only.

I've a friend who works at an apple store maybe he can help whit this.

Do you have an external HDD you primarily use with Mac OS X and is thus formatted with the Mac OS Extended fie system (HFS+)?
if that is the case, no reinstallation is required, as when you clone our HDD via CCC or SD to that external HDD, you make a 1:1 copy of it, which is fully bootable.
Therefore you can still use the clone and erase the partitions on the sluggish Mac and then clone the contents back and it will be just like before, hopefully with the sluggishness gone.

But as you Mac is at least three years old, it might be a dying HDD, so i you do not have a backup yet, make one.
